The singer of Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter, has already continued his lawsuits by three women alleging a sexual assault, faces a new complaint for rape.
A fourth woman presented worrying allegations concerning the 45 -year -old pop star, including affirmations that he raped it twice in 2005 and infected with sexually transmitted diseases, one of which led to a diagnosis of cervical cancer. The accuser, Lauren Penly, posted her trial earlier this month in Clark County of Nevada. According to the trial, examined by the Times, Penly said that she and Carter engaged in a brief “intimate” relationship from December 2004 to February 2005, at the age of 19.
Penly continued Carter to three counts: sexual assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and infliction by negligence of emotional distress. It seeks at least $ 15,000 covering “past and future” medical expenses and “pain and suffering”, as well as legal costs and additional damage. She requests a trial before jury.
“It is necessary to deeply need courage and resilience for survivors of sexual assault to manifest themselves publicly in the pursuit of justice, in particular in the music industry which has long favored an omnipresent environment of sexual exploitation,” said lawyer Gianna N. Elliot, who represents Penly, in a press release.
Carter's lawyers, Liane K. Wakayama and Dale Hayes Jr., denied Penly's allegations. The singer's legal team said in a statement shared with Times on Wednesday that Carter “never even remembers meeting” his last accuser, not to mention any relationship with her.
“It's just more than the same nonsense of the gang of conspirators and their lawyers who continue to mistreat the judicial system to try to ruin Nick Carter,” said the statement. “It is taken from the same predictable manual – wait for decades until Mr. Carter celebrates a professional stage, then hide behind the privilege of dispute to make completely false allegations to try to inflict a maximum of damage to Nick and his family.”
During their relationship of several months, Penly visited Carter (older brother of Late sensation of adolescents Aaron Carter) in Los Angeles in his apartment and they engaged in consensual sex three times, according to the 10 -page complaint. Penly, who said that she had never had unprotected sex before her relationship with Carter, alleged that the singer had refused to use any form of protection and led her “to believe that he was” clean “of sexually transmitted diseases.”
According to the trial, Carter violated Penly for the first time in early 2005. Penly said she went to Carter's apartment and asked to watch a film and a “hangout” instead of having sex, but the singer refused. He would have “said no because the only reason she was there was to have sex and that's what she wants,” said the trial. Carter would have picked up his accuser and “threw her on his bed” where he folded her on the side of the bed and raped her vaginally, despite herself “no” several times “.
The complaint claims that Carter told Penly to keep “her sexual assault a secret and that no one would believe it”.
Two months after the alleged incident, Carter apologized to Penly and asked her to visit her apartment. Upon arrival, Carter was with two friends, whom he said “he would be back” when he led Penly in his room, according to the trial. Penly told Carter, according to the trial, that she did not want to have sex, but the singer would have made the penetration “with force”. “Carter knowingly continued to participate in sexual intercourse with (Penly) despite her repeated refusals and her requests to stop,” said the trial.
Penly accused Carter of having infected by “various sexually transmitted diseases”, including the human papillomavirus (HPV), which, she said, led to her diagnosis of cervical cancer.
In July 2005, Penly learned from her doctor that she had been tested positive for chlamydia and gonorrhea, according to the trial. It was also tested positive for cancer cells, according to the costume. THE Mayo clinic Said that certain types of HPV infections can cause different types of cancer, including cervical cancer. A month after being tested positive for STDs, Penly received a diagnosis of Cervical Stade 2 cancer and has undergone numerous treatments, including an invasive cervical procedure, according to the trial.
Penly also alleges into her trial that she faces a “current harassment” of Backstreet Boys fans after being called to testify during a testimony involving other women who accused the caster of sexual abuse.
“The impacts of Carter's sexual assault are incessant, causing serious emotional distress, physical anxiety, medical problems, intimacy problems and other complex trauma,” said the trial.
The complaints of the Penly trial echoes the allegations raised in a series of proceedings in recent years – which Carter has denied.
In 2022, a woman filed a Civil trial Against the interpreter boys of Backstreet alleging that he had sexually assaulted her at the age of 17 and had infected by HPV. Another woman Made similar accusations in a trial filed in August 2023. Carter was also continued in 2017 by a singer of Girl Group Dream who alleged that he had raped her in the early 2000s. The trio of accusers published their allegations In the 2024 Documents, “Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter”. He continued the accusers Melissa Schuman and Shannon Ruth for defamation in 2023. The three cases of sexual assault are underway.
